I've been researching the required documentation/paperwork/publications and feel that I have a handle on what is required.Is there any more/less protection or something the lawyer can do that I cannot?

Which would you rather have -- zero protection or a presumption of protection?

My next big decision is whether to pay off the mortgage aggressively and move the house into an LLC or corp for financial protection, or if I will go with an umbrella insurance policy and continue to invest in new properties.

You can easily transfer title to your LLC shortly after purchase.From what I've heard, land trusts don't provide any asset protection or tax benefits as an LLC would so DEFINITELY speak with an attorney before going down that road. 

Other matters, like your asset protection or business structuring, can be done with somebody else.

We are living in the main front house and renting out the ADU to a tenant.My question is, other than having landlord insurance on the ADU, a solid lease agreement, and a 3rd party management company as intermediary to help manage repair needs/requests (my partner and I both work full time jobs) and showings when the unit is vacant, is there any legal entity protection or other avenue that will protect us further in case of a tenant lawsuit? 

Hi members after doing refi in a BRRRR can we transfer ownership from self to an llc for asset protection or does that require another refi?

So my question is, if we don't do that side agreement and left the property in our name while the LLC runs all of the rental operations, would the LLC still provide us with asset protection?  Or

The state owns this, More likely On cases like this ,it means The county or state used it for witness protection or maybe someone that works for like a Jail facility . for protection.. 

@Terri Haley - do you only use simply safe for water heater leak protection, or also for security?
